Theodorus, god of accidental charity. From Jim C. Hines "Jig the goblin" series - Tymalous Shadowstar, god of autumn star, of ageing and peaceful death. Amygdala, demigoddes of, well - amygdala. Calvin, demigod of improvised child-games. Tapas, demigod of quick, yet nutritive snacks...

Talisman, by a longshot. I think it went on for like 4 days, totalling to something between 10-12 hours, then we needed the table for work, so we called it a day. I don't think more than 3 players went past the middle ring either.

So... what you're sayin' is that my plan of pre-emptively cursing every party member is not as good as I thought? ;-) Out of interest - where is this feat from? I can't find it in PHB, and currently don't have access to anything other, but my DM might. edit: OK, my google was strong today, so...

Heh, that'd be particularly useless feat, since: PHB I, p. 131.

You can move around, you can use splash cursing - I can't remember if it's a wand or a feat, or what - but there's a possibility to curse your target + adjacent enemies. But if you stay in one spot and so do enemies - the cursed ones don't work as proxies ;P As to second point - you deal this...

Not if they're women. It all depends on pacing of the campaign, but I can recall several sessions spent entirely on screwing around and talking. It was always assumed that it was said if it was said, and any different approach never really came up. I like the flashback idea though, as it leaves...

Rules are there to help out. It is in DM's discretion to decide how and when to apply them. If you can't see anyone past 100 feet, you need to change DM, not system. Here.

Wait, what? Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of sticking with what was done right, but doesn't that mean the design cost should be out? As in done? Not-have-to-pay-for-it-again type of situation? Cheaper? That said - I recon that cash should go to people who know what to do with it. Nothing wrong...

Hehe, true - RPG gamers are mostly the type stuck on the short end of that stick (and more of those where this one came from ;-) ). But the fact that no casino uses any form of "randomisers" is also true, something to be learnt from. Anyhoo, nuff said, those who were curious got some addendum's.

Take a candle, any will do. Rub it all over the dice, especially around the numbers - so it makes a very thin layer of wax. Because it's stiff - it won't go inside to the engraving. Now paint the numbers however you want, anything that goes outside of the number will not stick. Alternatively...

Well I like to to hope that the games I play are somewhat logical. If I built a dungeon, I'd see fit not to include a self-destruct mechanism. And even if - that it'd be at least child-proof. Similarly, if you make a room with hidden door, then what's the point if they are opened by the single...

- Do you really expect me to pull this unmarked mysterious chain? - No, Mr Bond - I expect you to die.

Hm. Power level aside, some notes on how I see this: DnD was for me the meeting ground with people who normally played all kinds of other RPG's. Our designated DM had a lot of resources, someone had the psion book, someone had PHB II, someone MM II - you get the idea. To avoid...

It's best to pick race due to that character you want to play. No race adds to charisma score, so the differences are quite cosmetic. It might not seem like it, but IMO humans are best for the job (because, how often do you need high caster level with illusions...?) Also, depending on your...

I hear he got nerfed back in Zaratustra module.

Power of wizard v sorcerer aside (though just as a mention - sorc can use scrolls ;-) ), I never end up playing wizard simply because the spell preparation pisses me off. In theory, yeah - I can prepare some cool utility spell. But I need to know that I need it in advance. Or reserve some of my...

Yes, and if you drop it always the same way - there will be always the same effect. You get for example 20 x roll instead of 3 / 3.5 - 4 (depending on how big hand you have), but the hard part is to control your palm. The tower will never flinch, it will never hesitate, it doesn't get sweaty, it...

I really don't get this idea of using dice towers. It's like asking someone to cheat. Only with dice towers they don't even need any skills to do so and you have no way of telling if they go cheese or not. edit: That might be why people use them, but trust me - that ain't what they do. For the...

Whoah, this is fun! First off - establish if they're chaotic or lawful organization, this itself would clear things up a bit. Though just because they're lawful doesn't mean there can;t be a few NE innit ;-) 1. Why abduct families they need living humans for experiments, as their process still...

Um... Well it seems we do have a conundrum - challenging combat when nothing is at stake. Note, that I really don't know which of the propositions I'm suggesting would be fun - half of those piss me off, but then again I like epic battles after which DM is surprised we managed to win - so there...
